Woking Cougars 2-2 Moormead Panthers In the battle of the big cats, the Panthers had the lion's share of the game. Good point away in the rain and drizzle, on a great pitch and with a solid referee.

This week's match report for Moormead Panthers was written by manager James Kirkham while I am off galavanting in Sin City, US of A.

No QPR report for the Sheffield Wednesday game as I am away in Vegas.

I watched in our hotel room in, which wasn't without it's own drama.

Thought it to as a drab game, we take the point and move onto the Oxford game.

Gareth W Dixon (@thisw12domofrs) Calm structure, dirty work, and a ruthless third. If you liked Charlton, you’ll like this one—same energy, more sunshine.

They had the ball; we had the moments. Nardi in for Walsh, Kone’s rocket, Burrell’s winner, RND aerials, Dembele off the post → full Wrexham 1–3 QPR write-up:

Writing about my other love in football, aside from QPR, which is coaching at the grassroots level.

A bit of a classic to start our season at Moormead, and denied a famous comeback win from 3-1 down by a dubious late decision by the ref!

QPR's Richard Jone thumping Deadpool

QPR played Wrexham today.

This did make me laugh.

We have never won two games in a row with a 3-1 scoreline. History makers!!

Didn't realise we signed prime Thierry Henry and Tony Yeboah. Lovely stuff
Burrell and Kone look like proper Championship players. Not sure how how the former managed to stay off the radar. Thought RND had another solid game, especially in the air.

Richard Kone is the first QPR player to score 3+ goals in his first 4 games for the club since Djibril Cissé in March 2012.

It's a wonderful place, with great food and decent people. I played for Holywood FC for a while.

I used to keep an eye on the Glens, they were my local team and linked with the late, great, Alan McDonald, but I think I QPR’d them because their results dropped off a cliff, so I left them alone!

Used to live in Holywood, Co. Down and loved a wee trip to watch the Glens!
